[chirp_users] CHIRP under Debian Linux
Unfortunately, CHIRP under Slackware on my wonderful SLINT.fr installation variety is failing to work.
I prefer to run Debian because it has many more CLI - Command Line Interface - programs than Ubuntu.
Does anyone have a proven method of adding repositories to the /etc/apt/sources.list in Debian Sid?
With hopeful wishes, I remain, respectfully yours.

I just use a root text editor but I'm sure that's not what you're really asking. If the repository isn't signed, add [trusted=yes] as a switch just before the repository name. e.g. deb [trusted=yes] http://ppa.launchpad.net/gpredict-team/ppa/ubuntu bionic main

That helps!
This page:

had:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dansmith/chirp-snapshots
Which is a different PPA.
Maybe the gpredict-team PPA should be given instead?

Chirp doesn't now list it because many current Linux distributions have dropped Python 2 in favour of Python 3. Whilst you can install Python 2 yourself there are several dependencies that are not obvious. If you install (and update) Chirp from the FLATPAK version you will get all the required Py2 bits.

i used the instructions here: https://flatpak.org/setup/Debian/

You have to download the Chirp flatpak from the Chirp download page and then install with
cd ~/Downloads sudo flatpak install chirp-daily-20210830.flatpak

To summarize installing Chirp using flatpak in Debian:
If you are using GNOME Desktop environment, install the Software Flatpak plugin:
[as root:] apt update | apt install gnome-software-plugin-flatpak
Non-GNOME Desktop Environments:
For Debian Buster and newer (including Bullseye and Sid): A flatpak package is available. To install it, run the following as root:
apt install flatpak
For Debian Jessie and Stretch: A flatpak package is available in the official backports repository; Too add this repository (if it's not alreay there):
Add using root to your /etc/apt/sources.list file this line: deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-backports main
Now update and install flatpak:
[as root:] apt update | apt upgrade | apt install flatpak
Now you have to REBOOT or at least log out and back in.
You have to download the Chirp flatpak from the Chirp download page and then install with
So do this:
Go to https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/
Find the latest which of today is: https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/chirp-daily-20210830.fla...
Save that to ~/Downloads, then:
cd ~/Downloads
sudo flatpak install chirp-daily-20210830.flatpak
And everything works.
Thanks Nigel,

For future updates just download and reinstall the new flatpak. Generally no need to update unless the changes affect your radios.

It's not an error, it's just a warning that the repository doesn't have a security key. Just ignore it. That's the reason for the [trusted=yes] bit.
